Pierre,
It was just my advice, not a law :)
I switched to Eclipse only a few weeks ago - I guess the euphoria is
still hanging around. Honestly, I can't remember ever crashing it.
I was at a standstill with xcode because of the poor java debugging -
my productivity has shot through the roof since switching. Also,
being able to have all the projects in one workspace is huge - I no
longer have to build frameworks first. Granted, there's probably
ways to work around most of that, but Eclipse has given me all I need.
That combined with the fact that John has already been using Eclipse
made it a no brainer to me.
